2017-03-28kernel: Expand gen_tcp:close docs with send textLukas Larsson
This commit attempts to clarify some of the guarantees given by the TCP standard when issuing close. This is quite a complex topic so there are probably corner cases still left, but this at least tells the user that things can go wrong when doing a close.

2016-11-21Remove vestiges of watchdog support in heartMagnus Henoch
Hardware watchdog support was removed from heart in R13A, but there were still some vestiges in the code and the documentation. - Remove mentions of the HW_WD_DISABLE variable, as it's no longer used. - Remove the HEART_BEAT_BOOT_DELAY variable, as it was only used for the hardware watchdog.

2016-10-27controlling_process can return {error, badarg}Péter Gömöri
For gen_tcp, gen_udp and gen_sctp controlling_process/2 can return badarg if erlang:port_connect/2 fails with badarg. This can easily happen if the new owner is not alive but in some race condition also when the socket is closed right before port_connect/2 (and after the previous socket function) This commit documents this behaviour.
2016-10-17Clarify permission bits in file.xmlMagnus Henoch
In commit 3d70cee4034e, this text was changed to suggest that a list of Unix-specific permission bits would follow, but no such list was added. Let's revert back to the previous wording, so people won't look for a list that isn't there.

2016-08-29Fix purge of codeRickard Green
Ensure that we cannot get any dangling pointers into code that has been purged. This is done by a two phase purge. At first phase all fun entries pointing into the code to purge are marked for purge. All processes trying to call these funs will be suspended and by this we avoid getting new direct references into the code. When all processes has been checked, these processes are resumed. The new purge strategy now also completely ignore the existence of indirect references to the code (funs). If such exist, they will cause bad fun exceptions to the caller, but will not prevent a soft purge or cause a kill of a process having such live references during a hard purge. This since it is impossible to give any guarantees that no processes in the system have such indirect references. Even when the system is completely clean from such references, new ones can appear via distribution and/or disk.
